Someone mentioned earlier that this was a move in advance of the next HASBRO corporate report. That is exactly what this is and the reason for the timing.
Exec report <snip> to HASBRO board
The D&D brand has failed to achieve the hoped-for profit levels in this quarter. However, we have made a move to consolidate electronic products to in-house sales and reduce loss. This move will allow us to further consolidation to the current edition by no longer offering previous edition materials. The end-result will be higher new book sales and ddi enhancement.
Obviously, a real report would have a bit more corporate speak and would never make the overall HASBRO quarterly. However, I would bet you a memo with similar content is drafted or will be drafted for internal consumption.
